Naruto: Listen to the bow sound, resounding throughout the ninja world

Kakashi and other jonin followed Jiraiya.

The follow-up news should be announced in the next two days.

When they left, they took Gaara and the others with them.

No matter who killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, they were accomplices after all.

The treatment shouldn't be too bad, as the identities of these three people are not simple.

Except for Gaara's identity as the Jinchuriki, the other three are all sons of the Kazekage.

If you are mistreated, that's a diplomatic issue.

At this moment, even the powerful Konoha would not cause trouble.

After all, Konoha is now in a state of disarray.

However, this time the compensation from the Sand Village will definitely make them bleed heavily.

In July, they all said goodbye to each other.

After returning home, July recalled what had happened.

With Jiraiya here, the safety of the nobles should be no problem.

What is Orochimaru's purpose in joining forces with the Sand Village?

Is it just to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen?

But isn’t this risk too great?

This is the core base of Konoha Village, and it is during such a critical time as the Chunin selection examination.

The level of alert in the entire village is several times higher than usual.

Even if July hadn't found any trace of Orochimaru, she hadn't guessed that there would be cholera.

With Konoha's strength, they won't cause much damage this time.

So why on earth would Orochimaru take such a big risk to come back?

And there is a question, does the Sand Village know about this operation?

After all, the Kazekage is Orochimaru in disguise.

Was it to leave a way out for himself? If the operation failed, Fengying could also lie and claim that he had no knowledge of it?

But it's still not right. After all, Sand Village is one of the five major ninja villages.

Why would he cooperate with Konoha's rebel ninja, even if Orochimaru has the title of Sannin.

But other villages may not know the strength of Konoha, but the Sand Village definitely doesn't.

Even if there are three more Orochimarus, they won’t be able to take over Konoha.

But if there are no huge benefits, why would the Sand Village cooperate with Orochimaru?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head and she thought of something.

Putting aside all the impossibilities, the one that remains, no matter how outrageous it is, is the truth.

No matter how many benefits Orochimaru promised, he would not easily let the Sand Village cooperate like this.

Even the children of the Kazekage and the Jinchūriki were sent to participate in this event.

The risks and benefits are totally disproportionate, Fengying would not have failed to think of this.

Even if the Kazekage couldn't think of it, are the higher-ups in the Sand Village also fools?

Therefore, it was not the Kazekage who gave the order for cooperation.

The Kazekage may have been given to Orochimaru...

At the beginning, the Sand Village came here simply to cooperate with Konoha to hold the Chunin Exam normally.

However, the Kazekage was replaced in the middle and was later replaced by Orochimaru.

And Orochimaru arranged the entire plan as the Kazekage.

The general was not subject to military orders when he was away from home, and the top leaders of the Sand Village were kept in the dark throughout the whole process.

This should be the only possibility, otherwise she really couldn't figure it out.

Why does the Sand Village put the future of the entire village on the Kazekage and Shukaku?

A knock on the door interrupted July's thoughts.

He got up and opened the door. Kakashi was standing outside. He politely invited Kakashi in.

Kakashi's face remained cold throughout the whole process, and July silently poured Kakashi a glass of wine he brewed himself.

Sit down quietly, waiting for Kakashi's next words.

The rich aroma of wine seemed to soothe Kakashi, and he picked up the glass and drank it all.

At this time, he no longer had the mind to think about why the wine was purple.

"July, your initial guess was correct. My father was really framed."

"This time, because the Third Hokage was in danger, I sneaked into the data room."

"I saw some top-secret scrolls."

"I never thought that my father would be killed by such a childish scheme."

"And the Third Hokage actually knew everything and acquiesced to these things happening throughout the whole process."

"July, I really don't know whether I should hate you or not."

July looked at Kakashi quietly.

"Kakashi-sensei, does Master Jiraiya know about this?"

Kakashi shook his head.

July took a sip of water and slowly put down the cup.

"No, Master Jiraiya may also know about your father."

"Even if I don't know the details, I should be able to guess it vaguely."

Kakashi looked at Nana in confusion, not knowing why she would say that.

"Kakashi-sensei, the Sannin of the past became famous."

"That was also when the Third Hokage announced that he would be stepping down as Hokage."

"Even if your father is not here, who do you think is the most likely candidate for the position of Hokage?"

July gave Kakashi time to think. He had also been through that era.

"If there is no father, then the best candidate is the Sannin."

July nodded.

"Yes, as the direct disciple of the Third Hokage, he also made great achievements in the battlefield and earned the title of the Three Ninjas that shook the ninja world."

"Even at their peak, the teams led by the three of them were able to fight against an entire ninja village."

"Even though the Fourth Hokage is very famous, he rose to prominence too late after all."

"There's no way you can compare to the Sannin."

"But why did Minato-sama inherit the title of Hokage?"

"After your father passed away, the two most popular candidates for the succession to Hokage seemed to be Orochimaru and Minato-sama."

"Did Orochimaru just start human experiments? That's not right?"

"I remember the hospital's records. Many of Orochimaru's experimental results were applied to medical treatment."

"Even if he had captured civilians for experiments before, how could Orochimaru suddenly reveal his true colors at the critical moment of the Hokage election?"

"I was caught red-handed and became a traitorous ninja."

"Orochimaru is an extremely smart man. From the beginning of the campaign, he would never let anyone know that he has a dark history."

"Even if I didn't completely destroy those records, I would never commit a crime against the wind and let someone catch me so easily."

Having said that, July paused.

She had her own conclusion, but she didn't know whether she should tell Kakashi.

It’s not that I don’t believe Kakashi, but now that Kakashi knows a little bit of the truth, he has already begun to harbor hatred.

She was afraid that Kakashi wouldn't be able to bear it once she expressed her conclusion.

Just follow Orochimaru's example and rebel against Konoha.

Kakashi was also anxiously waiting for July's conclusion. He didn't understand why July stopped talking halfway through.

"Teacher Kakashi, do you hate Hokage now, or do you hate the entire Konoha?"

"Even if someone framed your father, the biggest culprits who caused your father to commit suicide were the people of Konoha."

After hearing this, Kakashi fell into a long silence. Indeed, who should he hate?

Sarutobi Hiruzen? The companions that his father had saved? Or the common people of Konoha?

Seeing Kakashi in such a conflicted state, July breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that he can still struggle with this proves that he should have his own thoughts and will not fall into extremes.

"Teacher Kakashi, please listen to me before you give me your answer."

"In the matter of your father, Naruto, and Orochimaru."

"In fact, there is a third party. I don't know who this third party is, but it exists."

“It’s been weaving a huge web.”

"Your father's reputation surpassed that of the Third Hokage. It cooperated with the Third Hokage to pull your father off the altar."

"Perhaps the Third Hokage did not intend to kill your father, but his acquiescence is encouraging this unhealthy trend."

"Orochimaru's matter also has its shadow."

"Even if Orochimaru captures fellow villagers for human experiments, he will only withdraw from the election for Hokage."

"Given Orochimaru's status, position, and reputation, a slight punishment is the most he can receive."

"As time goes by, the whole of Konoha will forget about it."

"Why do you have to force Orochimaru to betray the village?"

"Throughout the entire incident, your father and Orochimaru were obstacles standing in the way of becoming Hokage."

"Naruto's affairs are weakening the reputation of the Fourth Hokage, and the Jinchūriki who has been isolated since childhood is the easiest to manipulate."

"Look at Konoha over the years. The Senju clan announced their disbandment and integrated into the civilian population."

"The huge family left by the first and second generations disappeared into the crowd."

"Which of the high-ranking families in Konoha, such as Sarutobi and Mito, did not rise suddenly and develop rapidly?"

"The Sannin immediately fell apart. Some fled, some left."

"That's what I said before, Master Jiraiya might know something about your father's affairs."

"I'm asking you, do you hate the Third Hokage or do you hate Konoha as a whole?"

"In fact, the root cause of these things is that the entire Konoha is rotten from the root."

"The top leaders are trying to consolidate their own regime and seize benefits."

"They'll do anything they can. The common people are indeed stupid, but they're just knives in the hands of the higher-ups."

"The entire Konoha is rotten. If a small part of the apple is rotten, then the whole apple will soon be rotten as well."

"A tree with rotten roots cannot produce new branches."

July's words now sounded so deafening to Kakashi's ears.

Yes, how can a rotten tree grow new branches?

Kakashi, who had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire for many years, was awakened by Nana's words.

I can hate the Third Hokage, I can hate the Konoha high-ranking officials, but I shouldn't let hatred spread.

At least in this village, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, treats me sincerely, and the bonds between my companions are deep.

The village is just sick. Now that the cause has been found, what we should do is to solve the cause.

Let the village recover instead of wallowing in self-pity and letting yourself get sucked into a vortex of hatred.
